In case, If you will get a message that ansible is not available after running sudo yum install ansible, then try to install epel-release first (sudo yum install epel-release).

#6

I am facing this error too. Trying to go through the ANsible videos but can’t install ansible.

Any solutions???

#7

please note: i am unable to register to redhart sub management as I don’t have a subscription.

how can we bypass this issue and update the mirrorlist so yum and dnf can work?

Hello, @ukez15
Did you try from pip command?
Reference docs -
Installation — Ansible Documentation

#9

I downloaded the latest centOs and re-ran the whole process from the beginning.
The issue is resolved.

#10

also used PIP this time

#11

It worked with PIP??

#12

it worked for the new installation of centOS 9

I couldn’t resolve the previous issue on centOs 8

#13

It sounds great. Glad you resolved it by itself.
Thanks for your confirmation.

#14

What is the exact version of centOS 8? Can you please share with me the link to download?

#15

Here is the version: CentOS 8.2.2004

Hey, @ukez15
I tried and searched for a solution on the internet. It worked.

Switch to the root user by running the command - sudo -i
Use comment(#) to resolve below issues -

Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'base': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist

Then run on the terminal -

sed -i 's/mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-AppStream.repo
sed -i 's|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=http://vault.centos.org|g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-AppStream.repo

sed -i 's/mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
sed -i 's|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=http://vault.centos.org|g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

yum search epel-release

yum install epel-release

yum install ansible

Mirror list seem to have stopped working late last year for centos. instead of mirrorlist use vault, so go to /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory, you want to make changes to these file:

  1. CentOS-Linux-App*
  2. CentOS-Linux-Base*
  3. CentOS-Linux-Extra*
    comment out mirrolisturl, uncomment baseurl and change the mirrorlist word for vault like:http://mirrorlist.centos.org/… to http://vault.centos.org/…

Thank you for the information, @sifuyajoe :+1:
